Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve read a few books by Kate Morton, and The Distant Hours wasn‘t my favorite. I loved the historical fiction, dual timeline story, and setting of an old, European castle. But there were so many little things going on that made the story confusing at times.

Mood board for #naturalitsy featuring the things giving me #cozyvibes this first week of December.

Cannot tell you how happy I was when husband came home with the Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer. Love adding a little to my morning coffee for festive vibes.

Great read about castle life told in rhyme!

I enjoyed this book most of the way through, but was really irritated with the characters by the end.

It's no ordinary castle. It has favorites. It rearranges itself. And someone's trying to map it.
If your entertainment tastes run more to smiling, you'll like this one.

Aspirational home library. This could double as my dining room and living room, so unlike William Randolph Hearst, I wouldn't need the other 114 rooms and three cottages, just this room, a couple of bedrooms, a bathroom or two, and a kitchen. Totally reasonable, IMO.

My kids and I were completely sucked into the story on a recent road trip. The castle randomly adds or takes away rooms when it wants. The siblings are creative and supportive of each other. Even though they are defending themselves against a siege and someone trying to steal the crown, it never gets too scary. A wonderful adventure story!

Thanks for the tag @BethM #wondrouswednesday
